@ Darryn+Virdi.....While I'm sure your experiences with DS2500's have been great, you really should try the Pagids to compare.
Best pad I've ever used, although they're not cheap

I found www.brakes4u.co.uk cheap for yellows too. Free shipping there too if you spend more than £30.

Unless they offer more than their online system is showing, then they don't stock yellows for my car.

What car is it for? They don't say they have mx5 ones on there but if you search for the part number directly it normally finds it. For example I have even found yellowstuffs for the Dolomite Sprint!

You're good!
Found the pads for the same price but free delivery instead of £8 is a result.

EBC site themselves only list red and green on their site, does that mean yellow doesnt exist for the 330i?

Will be interesting to hear how you rate them from cold and in the wet vs the reds.

Will do!

i wasnt impressed at all by reds when cold. i remember having to go for the brakes on a motorway when they were stone cold, worrying how they were going to respond lol

You can get the product code easily for yellowstuffs. For example, for the 330i I just looked up the greenstuff pad code for it, which came out at DP21089. The first number of the part code stands for the pad material, greenstuff = 2, redstuff = 3, yellowstuff = 4, bluestuff = 5.

So this means yellowstuff for the 330i is just DP41089.

i thought there would have been a simple enough system like that. thatll make life easier.

This has happened to me several times now, you go for the brakes and have enough time to think, "come on then time to bite" and you then start slowing down at closer to expected rates, when cold its almost like you've got oil on your discs its a horrid feeling.

turns your stomach a bit. your head is saying "theyll work in a second, theyll work in a second!"

i wasnt keen on those for road use tbh. yellows though, no question about them, they rawk

Which Pagid's?

Simon · 25 Mar 2009 at 13:00

Mine were never that bad when cold, just not as sharp as when they had a bit of heat in them. I guess the rears do quite a bit on mine though.

I've used RS29's in the past and they're just incredible IMHO.
